You may remember RSS because of the issues the Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 introduced on our SBS boxes when RSS went live after applying the Service Pack ( previous blog post).įrom Intel's support site: Intel® Server Adapters - Receive Side Scaling on Intel® Network Adapters When Receive Side Scaling (RSS) is enabled, all of the receive data processing for a particular TCP connection is shared across multiple processors or processor cores. So, we will leave teaming between the on board NICs for now, and proceed to install an add-in dual port Gigabit PCI-E NIC that will support RSS while teamed.
Given that this is a Web server, having that ability to streamline network performance is more important than initally having the fault tolerant team. Receive-Side Scaling will be disabled for the team.Receive-Side Scaling (RSS) gives us the ability to utilize the multiple cores on this particular server to process network packets that are received. One or more adapters in the team do not support Receive-Side Scaling.
This is the message we received once we ran through the team setup process: Version 12.4 of the Intel ProSet ( link to download via the PRO/1000 PT support page) drivers support teaming on both the x86 and 圆4 versions of Server 2008. This particular box will be configured with the SharePoint V3 role for Internet facing site collections.īefore we went to add the unit to the SBS domain, we wanted to team up the adapters in Fault Tolerance mode. I ran the cmdlet Ryan mentioned below.Now that we have Windows Web Server 2008 圆4 ( trial software download) configured on an Intel SR1530HSH 1U chassis with 4GB of RAM and a Xeon X3220 Quad Core CPU. But, BPA still complains that this settings is not enabled.ĭo I have to enable these configuration settings on the hyper-v host's network adapter? I would like to know how I can configure these two options. It is set to Auth Header and ESP Enabled. And, offcourse I don't see any option called Receive Side Scaling.Įnable IPsec Task Offload v2 (TOv2) on a network adapterįor this one, I go the network adapter properties (see the screen shot above), there is an option called IPSec Offload. Next, Since, the PS cmdlet didn't work, I go to the network adapter settings.
